Migration Guide
Eager to migrate your existing applications? Here is our migration guide for 1.10.
GraalVM 20.2 in its Java 11 flavor is still the recommended GraalVM version.
Where is my 1.10.0.Final (and my 1.10.1.Final)?!?
We spotted a regression in the Caffeine extension and decided to skip the announcement of 1.10.0.Final altogether. And then we spotted an issue with the Platform BOM and had to release a 1.10.2.Final.
All in all, we managed to fix a few more issues in the meantime so that makes 1.10.2.Final a greater release.
What’s new?
JSON as the Default Content Type
In an effort to make your REST resources less verbose and considering nowadays JSON is the most widely used content type for REST services, it is now the default in Quarkus for your REST resources.
It means that, if you are using JSON, you don’t need to add @Produces and @Consumes annotations anymore.
It also means that if you were relying on content type negotiation, you will have to add these annotations with the content types you support.
CodeStarts as Default Project Generation Tool
The CodeStarts project has been a long and steady effort. Good news: it is now the default project generation tool.
From an end user perspective, it brings a better UI, more flexibility and code examples.
Swagger/GraphQL/Health/OpenAPI UIs
A lot of work has been done to make the Swagger/GraphQL/Health/OpenAPI UIs consistent and Quarkus-themed.
You can also now disable them at runtime.
More specifically on the Swagger UI front, all the Swagger UI configuration knobs have been exposed as Quarkus configuration properties. You can learn more about it in the just published Stylish API blog post.
Qute Error Pages
If you are using Qute, our template engine, you will be pleased to see our shiny new error pages, which points you to the error and makes you even more productive:
Hibernate ORM Runtime Config
Before 1.10, all of the Hibernate ORM configuration properties were fixed at build time. Mostly for optimization purposes.
With 1.10, we started to relax this rule for some carefully chosen properties and you can now override the following properties at runtime:
-
quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation -
quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation.create-schemas -
quarkus.hibernate-orm.database.generation.halt-on-error -
quarkus.hibernate-orm.log.sql -
quarkus.hibernate-orm.log.format-sql
More Reactive Changes
SmallRye Reactive Messaging was upgraded to 2.5.0 which includes several improvements and Mutiny to 0.11.0.
The Reactive SQL Clients now support multiple datasources: you can connect to several databases, exactly in the same way as for JDBC datasources.
New Extension for Amazon IAM
The Amazon Services extensions got a new friend: a brand new Amazon IAM extension.
More on this one in the Amazon IAM guide.
Google Cloud
A lot of Google Cloud-related work is taking place in the Quarkiverse.
And if you wonder how you will deploy your Quarkus application to Google Cloud, we have a new guide for you.
Full Changelog
